GENTLEMEN—The day is faat, approaching when, animated by that laudable ambition which characterises the British nation, you wilt establish yourselves in that-rank in society for which you are so eminently, qualified. We have' long enough been under the rule Of men so ignorant and helpless, as to render our coun try contemptible: Gentlemen, let us examine them from the beginning to die . en d, from the top to the bot tom, and we shall find them t o t a lly unfit for their sta dons. The King, God ble ss hi nt , is the only heart of .oak ; we w4 , bric..tto otter;' his Majesty's .Mi bisters—they are all of a piece i''the Lord Chancellor cold not stitch a button-hole; and, though he gets through a great many snits, Some - of them last him for years, ui,d, before they are finished, they are worn out ; the pockets are torn to pieces, fine-drawn inside and out, and the Lord help the poor devil who gets them after all. The Prime Minister, for his seal, could not make his own breeches. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Home Secretary of State, though said to have good understandings, could not, to save their soles, make P pair of shoes. Such fellows deserve' a ,good Itekeiting ! For instance, Mr. Canning, who cannot make , a sheet of writing paper, is .• Foi-eign Secretary. Earl Bathurst, of the Colonial Office, is not able to hoop a hogshead of sugar. The first Lord' of the AdMiralty is too ignorant to build a jolly boat. • The President of the Board of Works cannot carry a hod of mortar up a . threa-story ladder. The Commissioners of Woods and Forests arc, to a man, incapable of sawing a plank ; and the Chairman of the Board of Trade don't know a Spitalfields silk from a Bandana.' Nay, Gentlemen, the whole Of the Cabinet Ministers together could not make a chest of drawers. Let me ask you, Gentlemen, if these be fit persons to rule' a king-. dom ? I hear you all say, no ! There must be' a nth.: cal reform. I have some of you in my. eye, Gentle men, in my mind's eye, Gentlemen, to fill those offices with credit ; you, John Toinkyns, the ostler, shall be Lord Chancellor, because you are a good Judge. Tom Jones, you shall be Foreign' Secretary, because you Understand 4Velsh. You, Bill Johnson, shall take the Colonial Department, your experience as grocer's man, qualifies you for the place admirably. Jem : Stephens, if you can get Gripe, the pawnbroker, to gisit up your indentures, you will do well for Chancellor of the !rehetjuer, you know all about interest and the like.' Gibbons, the baker's man, must be Mas ter of the Ras. Toni Deal, the carpenter, Comp troller of the Woods and Forests ; and Smith, the cabinet-maker, shall be Pr:unt Minister. I sh a ll consider whether Cobbett be not the best man for Home Secretary, as he must head the Police. I am in sonic doubt, 'because I am also told that there ought to he honour among thieves. this be indispensable, Cobbett won't dO. Brougham intended to be Lord Chancellor, but we know better, he first' began to' open . our eyes, but we see now further than he wishes, he must be pensioned off until we have got him quite under our thumbs, or he he appointed gover nor of Sierra Leone, where I shall recommend we' send all troublesome fellows. I thoUght, of abolishing the tythes, but as the Church will tiroVide for a good many oldish men, who are now learning to read, we must not meddle with it. ' As,. I shall ,recommend no ac counts to be kept, we must get rid of Hume. An expt dition to the North Pole, which will suit his temperature, will perhaps be advisable. If there be a tidy reward, he is so fond of intricacies and money, that he will amuse himself amongst 'the snow very well ; and if he get a gentle hug from a bear, or a 'squeeze between two friendly ice 7 bergs, so 'much the better. J. Bur ridge the dry-rot man, shall be Comtroller ; and se veral very good: fellows from the “.Bradford. Union" can be Commissioners of the Navy ; and we can search the books of the Mendicity Society for Gentlemen Pensioners: Hunt is too low for I.Teher of the Black Rod, otherwise he would be matchless.. I don't know anybody better adapted for this post than Wooller, if he can be trusted ; but I fear him—he is a leveller, he waists to bring down the Nobles to his own rank ; but I fear: he will not allow us , to get into their places, and - We are not such fools as to be lifted up just : so MO, and no higher ; no, no—that's Brougham's notion ; lie would like us all to be his constituents—all of us to worship him as our idol ; but this won't-do—we are the people, and we are suPrente; Sir Francis Burdett tells us so, and so does every body else,—and what every body says must be true. I think Carlisle ought to be a Ilishois—he will be mucli better reconciled to the: church in consequence 'of hispromotion, and he can print his own sermons. It is impossible to provide others with.appointments at present, there are so many aspirants, who are really not qualified for the situations. Upon the whole, a s r h ra a i l s i ge t i a n k e e n t m s y s u e n i f t l have 'determined what" - placeat I prefer to leave the other present I have in eve to the Gold and Silver Coining department, on Tower Hill, but you shall .soon hear again from, Yours at command, ii MAT 0' THE MINT."

(From the Liverpool Mercury.) fbe following interesting account of the Elopement with Mr. Wakefield of his first Wife, is drawn' up expressly' for the Mercury. Edward Wakefield, Esq the father of the subject of this sketch, whose celebrated work on Ireland is so often referred to for the accuracy and interest of its details, is one of the first land-agents in the kingdom, and enjoys an income of 7,0001. or 8,0001. per annum. He is now a candidate for the representation inParßtp; 'tient of the borough of Rending, and 4 ' abort time ego married, at the hotel of the British Ambassador at Paris, MissDaviet, daughter of Dr. Davies, of Miwelesfield, a schoolmaster of the first celebrity. His son, Edward Gibbon Wakefield, was, at au early age, sent to attend the University at Edinburgh, confided to the care of a friend of his father in that metropolis, a clerical gentlemen of great literary acquirement% and peculiarly distinguished as it Greek scholar.° In the family of this respectable young,,Walrefield, from his (milk and cheerful disposition, became II gi'tut favourite. Be was a fine looking youth, a lewder amongst hie .enquinionte and the life of every party; lint his love of frolic and that rough amusement wort to boyhood, in pursuance' of which he player" off many practical jokes bordering upon the tut`' chievous,:reudered him at length so great an annoyance to the se.. date inmates of the house, that they were obliged to write to his father requesting that be . might be , retrieved. He, woo after left Scotland, having studied for about two years at ,College, where he obtained the reputation of cleverness, marred, however, by that want of attention and punctuality. .which was the natural conse quence of his love of amusement, Of the nature of these frolics, some idea may he forue'd from the fact, that on oue occasion, in conipany with a fellow-student, he passed himself off as a blind tidier, and performed his part so well amongst his every-day ac quaintance, that not one of them discovered the .joke ; and he drew from them charitable contributions to ; a considerable amount, enjoying afterwards the wicked satisfaction of laughing at them for, their credulity. The bilking of policestnen was another favourite joke ; lint mere annoyance to those about him, by his waggery, without any dishonottrahle Set whatever, formed the head and.iront of his attending,. anti of this to pcnsiblc were the family with whoui he lived, that he continued, after, he left them, in habits of intimacy and correspondence. , Four or five years after his departure limn Edinburgh, a young man, in a ehabhy-genteel dress, knocked at the door of his father's friend in that cite, and inquired with much earneetness for the gentleman of the house. his appearaoce was such, that little en couragement was given to his enquiries, anti being told that the gentleman wait nut at home, he .expreaeed himself as very main , tunete in not meeting with him. it was not, however, until he enquired of the lady of the house whether a letter had been re ceived from Mr, Wakefield, and nwntioned his name, that she surveyed hint with.attention, and discovered, through a disguise rendered more complete by his anxious and jaded appearance, that he was none other than her former young friend himself. He was received with cordiality, mingled with no hale surprise at his apparent plight. Ile explained that he was in a state of greet destitution : and, what was worse, that ho lied a young lady of respectability under his care, who was io an obscure place in the town, and in such absolute wain of fuuth and dress, that she Could not be produced ; and he entreated time lady to send her some neceasary supply of habiliments. The Worthy lady, mindful of the former romantic frolics of the young man, reaeonably enter tained sume•doubts as to the character and Merits of the female whose ease 'he snearecatly pleaded. She, however, lost no time in mending 'ter son to the spot mentioned, to ascertain, if posaible, the real state of the matter nmd the interview which took place between the messenger anti the' young woman, hail well nigh proved fatal to his ; future 'peace of mind. Ile found her, as he expressed it, " the _most beautiful creature he lied ever beheld," and her language and accomplished mammy% were such, as at once conviticed hint that she Was a virtuous young woman of rusk and educeition. She wu'wititall, to use a Senttish phrase, au " dis- geskit," (dejected) by fatigue and anxiety of mind, that he hastened with the welcome report to his parents. When the gentleman of the house came to inquire into the par ticulars of the ease, ha found that the lady (who was very young) was a ward in Cheneery, heiress to a fortune of 50,(1001. from her decessed fitther, and that the hail eloPerl with young Wakefield (who was. not yet of .age) front a watering Orme in the south,--- we• believe Tunbridge Wells. lie further ascertained that the elopement had its origin entirely in a love impression ; his young friend had, indeed, no opportunity pretionsly of knowing what were , her high expectations. The lady's mother, who was her guardian as well as her natural protector, tremblingly' alive to the Importance of her charge, bed maintabied over her the most rigid aurveillance ; the more eo, as she suspected that an attachment existed, although she did not know the character or family of the lover. With the exception of 'half an limn in the morning; the old lady had her eye constantly upon her (laughter ; but as love laughs at guardians, as well its at locksmiths, this short respite of freedom young Wakefield availed himself of, and succeeded in making a favourable impression on 1 the ladyi heart. The mother had her suspicions and her apprehensions, and to avert tiro dreaded consequences, hurried her daughter from place to place, trusting, full surely, that the stranger would, losing the scent, abantlon all further pursuit, and leave her and her .charge in tranquil security to await the ad dresses of sonic lent ruyeteriotur suitor. Ne, however, contrived to discover their movements, and pursued them from place to ilare At length the mother 'fixed herself and her daughter in lodgings at -, and having lost sight of the object of her dread, began: to congratulate herself on her good deliverance. But how vain are often our most sanguine expectations! The young man bad taken up his quarters directly eppUite to the house which contained the object of his alreetione, but so completely disguised that he was not recognised except by the fair lady herself, who,, (luring the accustomed half hour, when her guardian's precautions relaxed, gave her lover opportunities of improving the hake s s i o n he had made. During a very short sojourn at this place, Mr. Wakefield had the address to gain over all the servants to his interest ; and one morning when the old lady was absent for a short time, a chaise and fbur drove up to the door, followed by a gig. Into the chaise was banded, with great ceremoey,Mr. Wakefield's man servant, and the mug lady's maid, both genteelly (framed.' And while this vehicle drove off with the blinds up, by ' one road, with passible despatch, urged by the apparent anxiety of the inmate% Mr. W. leisurely, and without any show of grandeur, handed his fair charge into the gig, and drove off in the opposite direction. The old-lady was soon apprised that her bird of paradise had flown she got horses put to her carriage; and, as• might be expected, (a eonaummatioe devoutly to be wished by the lovers) drove on in pursuit of the chaise, in hopes of overtaking the fugitives. She had not how ever, hurried fur on the road, before some part' of her carriage broke down, and though the breakage was not attended with any danger, it was found that the vehicle was unfit to proceed ; and here the lady obtained a piece of information not much calculated to allay the vexation occasioned by this accident at so critical a moment. On inquiring into the probable Mite of the accident, sad taking the servant to task for some supposed neglect,' he in formed her that Mr. Wakefield (who it appears was anxious that the old lady should not over fatigue herself in the chase) " had been doing something to the carriage the night before," and this accounted for the m i s hap which had occurred. Meantime, the lovers drove on in a dubious direction, and were soon beyond the reach of the mother's pursuit. To prevent all trace of their route, Mr. Wakefield disposed of his gig at a neighbouring place, and from that time their journey throughout was one of the moot romantic and adventurous in the.records of hymeneal firgacity. Their fluids were but slender . : When they n e l nhtiaonnc in- stinted, and Mr. Wakefield dared not to write fbr a supply to his terpose to prevent . father, who was not the co u gi m i t i c s i a l 7t ofT 'They e h tz l sa lo c t ti l t ee it ufatrigblietrct he found t 'at a price was set uphn his head, adverteiementa go d placards were Put Out all over the country, giving it description of b a e n t d t * l:i a s il iiift i t n e discovered, to travel about at ran g o ff e ring a large reward for his apprehension anti at *leery an dreaded the appearance of peace lacers, end the inter., his * person as the abducer of an heiress s domi m a eo sing, however, The most unfrequented hyri4oade, petty : t esith a e l n i tw d ‘ th v i h re ti o n e m n t si t m o t oc i t ' a v e l a y , fd co m ho e G n t a r l etn i s t e tr r e : th i e l i b i th fi l t a i r T T '' he n i o r d t r; m t ioi l t i g r ue : d a nu t trt, o ti th r towns, : t i e : e y e a m ' : o rnias, f ,. villages, and hamlets; and they thus traversed the whole funds were soon so low that :they had no longer the - • ' as, • n m getee This gentleman 11 1 now wl hire to India, where he obtainvd a lucrative clerical appointment. o f r iding post, even had a favourable opportunity occur red. Their difficulties inereased daily, but .th e i r spitita it appears, bore up against them ; and the young w h o , might be said, had never before been reenwed to pace bee foot upon the ground beyond a short walk, and had enjoyed the ease and comfort of a carriage even when she took an airing, was now retineist to the necessity of walking many a long guile on the public road with her companion. On some some occasions , they were together on the top of a cone!' or waggon, and they tested at the most humble houses of entertainment on the way tide, in this manner, and partaking of the must common fare, they journeyed for many hundred miles together, during a period of three weehe, until their dress, their fupds, and almost their hopes, were retloc.. eel to the lowest ebb. The unmurmuring perseverance of the young lady afforded. mph, proof of her attachment to her ju venile companion, who, there ie no doubt, as the sequel will eon firm, treated her with the must affectionate attention. kis stated that they regarded each other as brother and sister, and journeyed in that character. --an idea Which was countenanced by their es treme youth, cepeelally that of the lady. After a variety of suf fering consequent upon their romantic adventure, and 'many hair breadth escapes front detection, they arrived at Edinburgh, as be fore stated, where, in total. destitution, Mr. Wakefield was nit*** sitited f 4) leave hiS bride at an obscure lodging uutil he tstougl4 for ber the relief which her iimmatiate wants mit - tired. The gentleman and hie lady to whom Mr. Wekefiehl addie e s-A himself, on learning these eireuntstances, Itimpitably received the young couple under their roof, advanced them a sufficient sum to enable them to appear as became their rank in life, and relying upon their impression of the honourable character of Mr. Wake field, the gentleman, though at his own risk, and in the face of the reward offered fur the apprehension of his young friend, in stantly decided, iu order to save the &meter of the young lade, to hasten the legal marriage of the parties. They were accordingly regularly united in wedlock .by the eminent clergymen and pro 7. ressar, who was the worthy successor of the distinguitthed author of the Lectures on Rhetoric, and the Belles Lettecs. ' Mr. I , Vakefield's father war apprised - of the match ; and 'the . mother of the younglady, when the bud learned the state of the rate, and the roipeetability of the party whom she had before int much dreaded, not only became reconciled, but suceessfullY'ex, erred herself to induce the Lord Chancellor to Withdraw the ana,-, theme which he had imam:wed against the' young man. She soon, indeed, • became so partial to Mr. Wakefield, that, on hie being eppointed 'alertly after to a high diplomatic situation at the Court of Turin, 'she accompanied tint young couple •on the sion. At Turin, they rtwideil some years, the ti, `it styled elegance and diitinotion. • Timer, or in softie part of Italy, we believe, Mr. Wakefield had the• - miefortune to lose hit wife; who left him the father of two children, for whom he holds in trust the large fortune of their Mother. The latter V•ir* eumstance, added to the consideration of hit father's respectable character and station in lili, is sufficient to rebut the charge that Mr. Wakefield is a needy adventurer. • His 'Edinburgh 'friends are in palomino of numerous letters from him and his - lady while they were abroad, and which are pregnant with great inte rest, and show that they,were highly esteemed and courted while at Turin. What Mr. Wakefield's Movements have been for some years after the death of his lady, we cannot state, The • love of enterprise and adventure seems all along to have been his ruling pamion; and it•appetws that, when en a recent wish to his friend, Mr. Davies, the accounts which , he heard of Mite Turner fired his ambition, and excited hiM t.o an attempt to win the .prier the result of which is now belitro the publie,—Mr. - WaksOell has, we. understand, just turned ,')t) years of age. .• , This statement is. given on .the authority of a-literary 'gentlemen of high mapectability, who was *Allow..indent with Mr.' Wake." field, and who shared in some of his boyish frolics, but has had no . personal knowledge of him in after-life. Many of the facts rest, ' of emirS44 on the testimony of Mr. Wakefield himself at the time ; but there is no reason. to doubt their general correctness. Shies we were favoured with_ the oral account from which we have, trusting chiefly to ineinnry,.drawn ,sketch, we haves heard icstated that the wtatter bore a more serious lope" at the tirne„., than this relation of an apparently romantic, but real, adventure, would seem to imply. But this opinion is best answered by' the thrt that the lady's mother became recorteiled.to the match ; that the Lord Chancellor 'ter/tore punishing the delihquent....-and abOVO all, that the lady resigned herself into the hands of the-young man, and lived happily with him ;. and whatever magnitude the recent offence of Mr. Wakefield may :teatime, it is •surely . utifitir, though we admit that it is natural enough in those irritated by hip In•esent conduct, to permit that conduct to hear with a retrospective view.. upon a transaction of his earlier life. Tim highly respectable persons with whom he was., acquainted when a student are loth to believe that, in the affair now before the public, he has en tirely forfeited their regard ; and we sincerely, though we can not sanguinely, hope with them, that even here circumstances of palliation, at least, may arise in the forthcoming trial.
